Emtek 4227-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 4227 Hercules handleset fit my door thickness and existing bore?
The 4227 Hercules sectional handleset covers doors from 1-3/8 inches to 2 inches thick and uses the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a door already bored for a common residential lockset takes it without new boring. The one prep number to check is the vertical spacing: the handle and deadbolt are 5-1/2 inches center-to-center. If your existing plate is drilled on a different center spacing, the holes will not line up.
2) What is a double cylinder entrance handleset and should I use one on my front door?
Double cylinder means the 4227 Hercules takes a key on both the outside and the inside, with no thumbturn. That is what people specify when there is glass in or beside the door, since a smashed lite does not let someone reach in and turn a knob. The tradeoff is egress: nobody leaves through that door without a key in hand, and many jurisdictions restrict double cylinder on a required exit. If you want a thumbturn inside instead, you want a single cylinder entrance handleset, not this one.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Emtek 4227 handleset?
Handing is a required selection, left hand or right hand, on every 4227 order. Emtek calls it out specifically when a lever is used for the inside trim or when an interconnect device is specified, because the lever has to fall toward the correct side of the opening. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it is a right hand door.
4) Which backset do I order for the Emtek 4227, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
Both are offered on the 4227 and it is a required choice. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset; the 2-3/4 inch has to be specified. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore. Most residential doors are 2-3/8; 2-3/4 shows up on thicker entry doors and some builder preps. Order the wrong one and the latch will not reach the strike.
5) Can the Emtek 4227 be keyed to my existing Schlage or Weiser keys?
Standard cylinders on the 4227 are Schlage C keyway, so it drops into an existing Schlage C system. Emtek also builds it in the Weiser WR5 keyway at no upcharge for the cylinder substitution, which lets it key into an existing Weiser system. Both keyways are orderable choices. Keying to code is available as a free option, along with keyed alike or keyed different across the sets you order.
6) What comes in the box with the Emtek 4227 handleset, and what do I still have to pick?
The 4227 ships as a complete set including the latch and the strike plate. What you choose on the order is the inside trim, and it is required: any Emtek brass knob or lever, from levers like the Hercules, Stuttgart, Athena and Milano to knobs like the Ace Knurled, Square, Round and crystal options such as Windsor and Bristol. You also pick handing, backset, keyway and finish. Nothing on the exterior side is optional trim, the knurled Hercules grip is the handle.
7) Is the Emtek 4227 a mortise handleset or a tubular one, and does that change the door prep?
Tubular. The 4227 uses standard bored prep, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with the handle and deadbolt 5-1/2 inches apart, rather than the deep edge pocket a mortise lock needs. That matters if you are replacing a mortise entry set: the mortise pocket in that door edge will not be filled by a tubular latch, and you would want a mortise trim like the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont instead. Coming the other way, a door already bored for a tubular handleset takes the 4227 directly.
8) Is there a graded handleset to use instead of the Emtek 4227 Hercules on a rental or commercial opening?
The Emtek 4227 Hercules is a residential brass handleset. When a spec calls for a stated ANSI grade, the Schlage Residential F60 Addison Single Cylinder Keyed Entry Handleset with Accent Lever is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Master Lock HDLBA0615/4D is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt handleset, and the Kwikset 687AMD Amador Single Cylinder Handleset is Grade 3. All three are single cylinder, so an opening that needs a key on both faces is a different decision than grade alone.
9) What is a double cylinder handleset alternative to the Emtek 4227 Hercules for a 1-3/4 inch door?
The Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Double Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim is the double cylinder counterpart to look at. The Emtek 4227 Hercules is a tubular brass handleset with a double cylinder keyed function, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, while the Baldwin 6542DBLC is mortise trim listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both key from the outside and take a key on the inside as well, which is what a glass-panel or sidelite entry usually calls for. The Emtek is a bored tubular prep at a 2-1/8 inch cross bore; the Baldwin is trim for a mortise lock body, so the door prep is a pocket rather than a bore.
10) If the inside of the door does not need a key, what single cylinder handleset replaces the Emtek 4227 Hercules?
Where code or preference calls for a thumbturn inside instead of a second key, the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont Single Cylinder Entry Mortise Trim covers the same entrance function on a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder keyed entry for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Emtek 4227 Hercules is built as a double cylinder set, so it keys on both faces; a single cylinder set is the choice when the interior side must open by turn.
11) What keyed handleset works on a 2-1/4 inch thick door where the Emtek 4227 Hercules does not fit?
The Emtek 4227 Hercules tops out at a 2 inch door. For a thicker slab, the Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial Handleset with Eleganti Knob is a single cylinder keyed entry listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. On the electronic side, the Yale Real Living BYRD226CBARX Assure Lock touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are keyed or coded from the outside only, so neither reproduces a key on the interior face.
12) Which handlesets look like the Emtek 4227 Hercules but will not lock a door?
Watch for dummy sets. The Weslock 6695 Belmont Dummy Handleset with Impresa Knob and the Weslock 2815 Hillcrest Dummy Handleset with New Heaven Lever both list the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range as the Emtek 4227 Hercules and read as full handlesets, but their function is dummy - surface mounted trim with no latch or cylinder. The Schlage Residential JE285 Barcelona with Seville Lever is a non-keyed entry handleset. The Emtek 4227 Hercules is a keyed double cylinder set sold complete with latch and strike plate.
13) What else could I use instead of the Emtek 4227 double cylinder handleset?
If you need a key on both sides, the closest cross-brand option is the Baldwin Estates 6542 Tremont double cylinder entry mortise trim, though that is mortise prep, not bored. For a thumbturn inside instead of a second key, look at the Weslock 2810 Hillcrest single cylinder handleset, which covers the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch door range, or the Schlage Residential F60 Addison with Accent lever, a Grade 2 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Deltana 810871 Montego is another solid brass handleset covering 1-3/8 to 2 inches. What the 4227 gives you that those do not is 90 inside trim styles and both Schlage C and Weiser keyways.
14) Will the Emtek 4227 work on a door thicker than standard, like a 2 inch entry slab?
Up to 2 inches, yes. The 4227 covers 1-3/8 through 2 inch doors and there is a door thickness field on the order so you can state your actual slab. Above 2 inches it is out of range: a Weslock 1411 Traditionale Colonial covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors if your entry slab runs thicker.
15) What is the keypad or smart equivalent of the Emtek 4227 Hercules handleset?
The Emtek 4227 Hercules is a mechanical, non-electronic handleset. If the entry should open by code or phone, the Kwikset 815SCEHFL-CP913CNT San Clemente Handleset pairs a Halifax lever interior with a Contemporary SmartCode electronic deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Yale Real Living BYRD226NRRX Assure Lock is a standalone touchscreen deadbolt with Ridgefield handleset for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Yale BYRD226CBARX adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These replace the outside key cylinder with a keypad, so a double cylinder interior key is not part of that arrangement.
16) Do the Kwikset 687 Amador and Belleview handlesets include the inside trim like the Emtek 4227 Hercules?
No. The Kwikset 687AMD Amador and the Kwikset 687BW Belleview are exterior-only single cylinder handlesets, so the interior knob or lever and its deadbolt turn are ordered separately. The Emtek 4227 Hercules is sold as a complete set including latch and strike plate, with the inside knob or lever selected as part of the order. That difference decides how many line items a job needs.
17) What solid brass handlesets compare to the Emtek 4227 Hercules for a brass entry door?
Deltana offers several solid brass entry handlesets: the 803871B Hanover, the 815871 St. Ann, and the 825871 Kingston, all entry function in solid brass. The Emtek 4227 Hercules is also a brass set, in a knurled sectional style with a 5-1/2 inch center-to-center prep, and it is the double cylinder option among them. Style is the dividing line here - Hercules is contemporary knurled, the Deltana sets are their own traditional patterns.
18) Is the Schlage JI18/19 interconnected lock a substitute for the Emtek 4227 Hercules handleset?
Not directly. The Schlage Residential JI18/19 is an interconnected passage lock with a keyed deadbolt and Torino lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - its lever passage function retracts the latch and the deadbolt together, and the lever itself is not keyed. The Emtek 4227 Hercules is a double cylinder entrance handleset with a gripped exterior handle and a key on both faces. They suit different openings: the JI18/19 is a multi-family style interconnect, the 4227 a keyed front entry grip.
19) What handleset should I use on a 1-3/8 inch door if I want a knob inside instead of the Emtek 4227 Hercules?
The Pamex FS7P31 Lexington Single Cylinder Handleset in satin nickel fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch as an entry set, and the Baldwin Wesley Handleset x Alcott Knob or Wesley Handleset x Carnaby Knob pair an entrance handleset with a knob interior. The Emtek 4227 Hercules also starts at 1-3/8 inch and takes a brass knob or lever inside, but it keys on both sides rather than using a turn.
20) What finishes does the Emtek Hercules knurled handleset come in?
Eight finishes, and each is available with either keyway: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4) and French Antique (US7). The body is solid brass, so the unlacquered brass option will patina over time by design while the lifetime polished nickel is finished to resist it. Matching the rest of the openings in a house is the usual reason people care here.
